This track is pretty fun but really hard on the brakes. After I pulled off from my first session I saw smoke coming out from the front of the car and got worried but then when I went out to pop the hood realized it was the front brakes that were smoking. I really need to try slicks next year. Street tires just can't keep up on the corners. Also I keep braking for turn 1, I don't feel confident taking it without braking to much yet.

Anyway, heres my in car vids with crappy sound... I need a better camcorder for this (even though I bought this one specifically for it since its flash memory)

Cant really hear anything

 

Hence "crappy sound" basically once the car starts moving, the vibrations kills the sound...

I attended my first school at Shannonville in 1998. I'll never forget my instructor yelling at me "BRAKES! BRAKES!" because I never lifted going in to one, even passing my instructor on the outside once LOL

 

I should probably do some instruction next year also. Improve my lines and braking points since I'm really random on braking still. This fact was shown more at Shannonville then Mosport.
